Generic Slave Device DTM

Most of the current PROFIBUS DP slave devices are supplied with a GSD file in order to allow a config-
urator to setup a configuration for that particular slave device. OMRON's Generic Slave Device DTM is
provided to allow integration of the GSD file based configuration options into an FDT Container applica-
tion, like CX-ConfiguratorFDT.
The GSD files are stored in a separate sub-directory under CX-ConfiguratorFDT. Upon updating the
Device Catalogue, the Generic Slave Device DTM will scan this sub-directory and present an entry in
the Device Catalogue for each of the GSD files found.
Upon adding the GSD based slave device to the network, an instance of the Generic Slave Device
DTM will be made in the PC memory, which will read the GSD file contents. The instance of the Generic
Slave Device DTM will provide the user interface necessary to make the settings for the associated
slave device.
